It has to be an older-esque man who embodies an infectionate, sexy, protective persona.

So Pedro Pascal from The Last of Us, daddy-esque.

That's where...

Your friend, Lily Allen Spanner.

David Harbour.

Henry Cavill in The Witcher was very protective.

So these are like daddy-esque figures that us as women going, look how he treats those young children who aren't his children.

I don't know.

I think it's come from, like, you're definitely right, it has come from the bedroom of, like, men wanting to be called daddy, but I think that's because I want to feel masculine and protective even though they might not be and they're just, like, missing that and I think they get a kick out of it.

I don't know any woman who, like, says it openly about her partner or anyone like that.

Yeah.

It's always in...

in reference to like a celebrity man.

It's never to like my person or like, oh, I think that guy's so hot.

He's so daddy.

I've never heard that.

I've only heard it for like celebrities who are like kind of like untouchable.

I think we put that on women who have like, quote unquote, daddy issues.

Like, especially women who date older men.
